I'm not sure there's much comfort in this as the current administration has done quite a bit to skirt around "normal" court procedures - declaring citizens enemy combatants, moving suspects to foreign soil, etc.
There's just a sense that there's a whole structure in place that is beyond the rule of law, that normal citizens have to recourse to due process for reasons of national security.
